If someone wants a pretty decent TAS project, this game delivers. It's an action game from an isometric view featuring a really fast running speed. You can also use running jump to get past obstacles in the levels and skip huge chunks of gameplay. The only bad thing about it is a few (two or three) auto-scroller levels in between the fast-paced levels. Here's the results of testing in the first few levels. Level 1: you can jump past everything to get to the final objective early (freeing the guy from the cage). Then jump back to the entrance. Level 2: you can jump past lava rocks and the portal to get deeper in the level. You can do a really precise jump straight to the boss arena. Not sure about fastest strat against the boss, perhaps block and then do a jumping attack, but after dealing with him the level is pretty much over. Level 3: yuck, first auto-scroller. Level 4: so far it looks like you can't skip the electric gates in this level, forcing you to go out of your way to kill some spiders. Because I couldn't skip everything, I lost motivation to test further for now. EDIT: To defend and prove my not as much contested as ignored point, I actually did a test TAS through the first 1½ levels, and... I HAVE THE ENCOOOODE!!! Also the .vbm

I have to admit, the game plays faster than I thought. I don't know anything about the game, so I couldn't really provide any feedback, but I will say I would most likely watch a full run of this game. Then again, there's probably no game that I wouldn't watch a TAS of. ;p

That was quite awesome, I'm sure it would be a very entertaining TAS if completed. Sadly I cannot help you in any other way than moral support because I do not know the game nor do I have time to learn it.
